Hi Wild, Thanks for the ideas, however I am sure it isn't the new PSU. I put the old video card back in, and although the system boots normally, the performance is still extremely bad. However, at this point I am sure it is a software problem and not a hardware problem, because in Safe Mode...

Hmm, well now a new symptom has developed. Upon booting (with the new card), the computer hangs during POST at "Checking NVRAM...". <update> I cleared the CMOS and the computer posted past that point, but froze while trying to initialize the ZIP drive. Rebooting takes me back to being...
